#17 Michele Mercier

Michele Mercier is known mainly for playing the part of Angelique, the heroine of a series of bodice-rippers set in 17th Century France and popular in the ‘60s (in France, at least). According to IMDb, this “catapulted her to almost instant stardom, rivaling Brigitte Bardot in her celebrity and popularity.” I don’t know if I’d go that far, but I definitely see some similarities between the two.
